A simple and deep game. I really liked the concept and art.
Very nice idead and the game feels very polished. I like it :D
interesting concept, I felt the need of more feedback on your status in the game.
So emotional.
You guys should continue making this after ludum dare, I think this game could have some great potential.
Love the theme and appropriate visuals, but it's just a regular runner otherwise.
cool.
this game make me consider a lot.
Concept and art are awesome! Really beatifull song. Definitely should continue making this after ludum dare
Check our game too http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-32/?action=preview&uid=44367
Beautiful game.
Cool Idea, nice Implementation.
Short and simple, great! I love the animation and mood of it. Not sure why you left out the audio rating, I think the music is beautiful too.
Didn't take much to get him down after so many compliments.
Minimalistic, perhaps more so than I'd wanted.
Congratulations for your first LD entry :).
I love that game. Simple and effective.
You nailed that feeling of people using words as weapons to hurt people! It feels like someone reading a diary of somebody whom I had a nice friendship then it fell apart over time (or maybe I'm thinking too much).
I'd like to see a full version and improvements upon this concept! :3
I love the animations.
Well done. I loved this one. It seemed a simple endless running game at first, until I let a positive word hit the character. Then watching the character throw his chest out with confidence I understood what you were doing here. Great job, smooth controls, great artwork. I actually felt sad for the little guy at the end. This game could easily be featured in one of the anti-bullying campaigns going on.
Am I missing something? On the web version nothing happens when I get hit by the words.
Thoughtful and well-executed. Nice work.
Great game! The concept is so strong! Agree with the above comments to push this further and with the comment with "anti bullying". Especially this whole cyber bullying thing, I think that a game communicates this idea quite nicely. Nice work!
the power of words :(
Great job :D
Thanks for all the great feedback!! It's very encouraging and we're considering building this out into a fuller game. :)
@jmborden: Depending on the words that appear, it might take a few hits for the character to react. It's on my todo list to add a momentary reaction when any words hit, right now it just affects the character's overall mood. Also I noticed that when you die while jumping the animation can get stuck. I'll post a link to a fixed version when it's done!
good idea. the jump could be a little bit faster
Simplicity and depth are a hard to achieve combination in a game. You managed to pull it off in your game in an Elegant way.
Awaiting for more games developed by you.
That was a delightful surprise. Thank you for making this game!
Mood 5/5!
loved it, really new concept and awesome art and music. really good game.
Really good game. quite a deep concept.
I quite like this, very deep. I would be interested to see how this could be expanded
Nice game with lovely relaxing music on loop.
According to the others comments, there must be some bugs in the linux version. The words are coming way to fast, impossible to dodge. If I want to jump, the player is jerking around in the air.
Very mellow, yet fun. Great job!
Easy controls, that is how I like it.
I love the story on avoiding negative words and reaching toward the positive labels. It felt the words were applying to me personally.
Original idea (the concept, not the gameplay). Really liked the graphics and animations. Music is nice aswell. Nice work!
Words are the weapon... that is cool, art is awesome , great work ;D and congrats on your first LD :D
Good Idea, but the character could have more powers =(
